The Great America Show - WASHINGTON D.C. IS “A CESSPOOL OF HATRED” SAYS ATTY MC BRIDE. REP TENNEY SAYS JOE BIDEN IS PROJECTING WEAKNESS TO OUR ENEMIES—PUTIN & XI

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and this is The Great America Show, and welcome. Great to have

00:00:05.060 you with us. Let's talk about the video of the protests on Capitol Hill on January 6th,

00:00:11.140 the first time the American public has seen video that shows what actually happened that day.

00:00:17.920 Fox's Tucker Carlson given access to the video, which was played for the first time this week,

00:00:23.700 revealing that the Marxist Dems, who comprised the January 6th committee, lied, distorted,

00:00:30.980 and tried to keep secret what really happened in various areas of the Capitol that day. The

00:00:37.640 Marxist Dems in the deep state still have about 900 American citizens who protested, demonstrated,

00:00:44.720 and yes, some of them rioted on January 6th. The J6 defendants, all of them, locked up in prison 0.98

00:00:52.080 cells, many of them malnourished, mistreated, in need of medical care, and denied their rights as

00:00:58.340 American citizens, purposely by the federal government and the Marxist Dems who were in 0.82

00:01:04.560 control. The Federal Bureau of Prisons treating those political prisoners brutally, inhumanely,

00:01:11.100 and there seems to be no way to rescue them from the barbaric treatment and confinement that could

00:01:18.080 be expected in a third world capital, but not in Washington, D.C. The FBI, the federal prosecutors,

00:01:26.640 the federal district court judges, are politically corrupt, working together to make the hundreds of

00:01:32.820 Americans ensnared in their custody simply their political prisoners, denying them even hope of

00:01:39.800 fairness and crushing their rights as American citizens, and making their lives and the lives of their

00:01:45.900 families pure hell. We'll be talking with Defense Attorney Joe McBride. He's representing a number of the

00:01:53.000 J6 defendants, and as you might guess, he is both angry and sickened by what the American government is

00:02:00.020 doing to his clients and all of the January 6th defendants. We're also joined today by Congresswoman

00:02:07.580 Claudia Tenney of New York. She's one of the Republican Party's standout representatives. We'll hear her views on the

00:02:14.340 Marxist left that has overwhelmed the Democrat Party and is aligned with the deep state, the permanent

00:02:20.380 bureaucracy, in controlling the federal government and abusing their power without account or consequence.

00:02:28.340 Let's turn first to Attorney Joe McBride. He's fighting the Marxist left's abuse of power almost every day.

00:02:35.600 Some of his clients have been in federal custody for more than two years, some only now going to trial.

00:02:41.840 Joe, welcome back to The Great America Show, and we thank you for all that you're doing. If you would,

00:02:49.500 give us a sense of what's happening in the courts and the prisons in and around Washington, D.C.

00:02:55.560 Thank you very much, Lou. It is always great to be here. Thank you for your continued support

00:03:00.620 for the January 6 cause and community at large and for all the great work that you've been doing for all

00:03:06.740 these years. America is still the greatest country in the world. Washington, D.C. is its capital, and it is

00:03:14.220 a cesspool of hatred and disgust. And right now, all of us want to know that there is a way forward

00:03:23.760 here for these people. I know your client just was found guilty in a trial. Tell us what happened.

00:03:32.960 So, Richard Barnett, famously the guy who had his feet up on a desk in Nancy Pelosi's suite

00:03:39.000 of offices. We had the trial. It lasted two weeks and one day. That one day was a day of jury

00:03:45.520 deliberation, so the trial itself was a two-week trial. We put on a wonderful case. We impeached

00:03:51.900 multiple agents from the FBI. We red-handedly caught Speaker Pelosi's number two lying on the stand,

00:03:58.420 two FBI agents lying, just Carpodge lying on the stand. We thought that we had done a great job

00:04:06.020 of beating the majority of the charges, especially some of the less important ones. Be that as it may,

00:04:13.060 after two weeks of trial, the jury deliberated for two hours, which includes the breakfast, coffee,

00:04:19.780 and donuts they had, and they convicted him of every crime charge under the indictment. It's a complete

00:04:25.660 travesty and an injustice. So give us all a sense of what that trial was like. I can't, frankly,

00:04:33.640 imagine anyone getting a fair trial for any charge in the D.C. area, where Democrats are, what is it,

00:04:41.480 10 to 1 on voter registration. It's outrageous. Give us a sense of what it was like to stand there

00:04:50.220 before that jury and that judge. Make your arguments for your client. Did they sneer? Did they just

00:04:57.940 feign disinterest, or were they truly yawning through it all? It's a great question. So

00:05:04.960 Washington, D.C., as you correctly pointed out, 96% of Biden voters on a normal day. When you factor

00:05:11.840 in President Biden's comments about MAGA Republicans, the January 6th committee, we know that the jury pool

00:05:17.220 was poisoned beyond repair. In terms of jury selection, we had to make an educated guess.

00:05:22.760 You have your D.C. local residents, who are largely African American, and then you have sort of your

00:05:29.520 liberal transplants, who are your MSNBC white liberal elite Harvard types. We made a conscious decision 0.70

00:05:37.000 to get the latter, the white elite Harvard types, off of the jury, and we went with the homegrown D.C.

00:05:43.620 people thinking, hoping that that community of people would understand what it's like to be targeted,

00:05:51.020 would understand what it's like to experience police brutality, would understand and empathize

00:05:56.280 with the plight of somebody who has the weight of the criminal justice system bearing down upon him in a

00:06:02.420 very unfair way. The prosecution presented its case in a very materially dishonest way.

00:06:09.060 They impugned everything that Richard Barnett did for November of 2020 all the way through today.

00:06:15.780 They incriminated him for his free speech. Joe? Yes, sir. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I'm thinking

00:06:22.740 we're in that trial right now. The judge is up on the bench, and Joe McBride says objection.

00:06:31.640 What happened when you did that, when they were carrying on like that?

00:06:38.180 We objected to a lot. The judge kind of, if this was a boxing match, the judge sort of let the two

00:06:47.240 fighters go at it and, you know, exchange barbs. The problem is, is that when you're fighting against

00:06:54.220 the government, one guy is on steroids and the other guy isn't. So they were, they had the full

00:07:00.280 power of the government behind them. And when they get up there and when they lie, but they had the gun

00:07:06.040 and the badge or they have, you know, all the trappings and dressing, the dressing up of a government

00:07:12.220 agency that you can't possibly outcompete that. They have the air of legitimacy with them, whereas our

00:07:20.440 guy didn't. It was an unfair fight. We even put Richard up there. He got up on the stand. He said,

00:07:26.100 look, I'm stupid. He called himself an effing idiot. He said, hey, listen, there's a lot of 1.00

00:07:30.220 things I shouldn't have done that day, but I'm not an insurrectionist. I'm not a terrorist. I'm a guy

00:07:34.580 with a big mouth who came in from Arkansas, said a whole bunch of stupid stuff, and I should have never 1.00

00:07:38.800 did it, but I should not go to jail for the next 20 years of my life. They simply did not care. 1.00

00:07:44.720 Let me put this in perspective. Amongst all the things that he was charged with, he was also charged with

00:07:49.580 possessing, was stealing an envelope from Nancy Pelosi's office. In order for him to be guilty

00:07:55.220 of that charge, they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he took it with the intent

00:08:00.120 to keep it and steal it, that he took it wrongfully with that criminal intent, and that the envelope

00:08:05.400 itself had some type of monetary value. Richard bled on the envelope because he was cut. He removed

00:08:11.900 the envelope and he left a quarter for compensation just in case he was accused of stealing it. He went

00:08:16.900 outside on video and he gave this long speech, but in the beginning of the speech, he said,

00:08:21.480 I did not steal this envelope. I took it because I bled on it. And then when he turned himself into

00:08:26.420 the FBI, the first thing he did was hand it to the FBI and say, hey, this was not opened. I never

00:08:32.000 opened it. I kept it because I bled on it. Here you go. That is an absolute defense to theft of the

00:08:38.480 envelope. No value, no criminal intent to keep it. Despite that fact, he even was convicted of

00:08:44.580 stealing the envelope. These people had malice in their hearts. They did not care about him.

00:08:49.420 They did not care about the criminal justice system. They saw the guy who had his feet up on

00:08:53.740 the desk. That guy invaded their hometown and they wanted him to get convicted. And that's why they

00:08:59.240 convicted him in record time. I have to ask, did you at any point when you were sitting in there and

00:09:07.660 what is effectively a kangaroo? I mean, it's more obscene than even a kangaroo court. Did you ever

00:09:14.480 at some point say to the jury, you're absolutely appalling in your prejudice to the judge? Your

00:09:22.960 indifference is suffocating. You might as well be lashing this man, you know, with a cat of nine 0.90

00:09:30.380 tails instead of cross-examining in the witness stand. I mean, this isn't American justice, Joe,

00:09:37.800 as you well know. It certainly is not, Lou. One of the big problems that they did, we thought it was

00:09:44.180 very, very dishonest. Look, the mask mandate had been dropped in the court, right? But the judge

00:09:52.400 gave the jury sort of a, hey, look, you can wear your mask or not wear your mask. So they're in D.C.

00:10:01.160 They all mask up. The entire jury mask up. The prosecution wears its mask. Every time the jury

00:10:07.580 enters the room, they mask up. But when the jury leaves, they all take the mask off. So as far as

00:10:12.120 the jury can tell, the prosecution has the mask on. We don't wear our mask because we think that science

00:10:17.180 is garbage. And I told the judge, and I made objections over and over and over and over. 0.98

00:10:22.960 Number one, they keep talking about COVID. COVID's got nothing to do with this case.

00:10:26.700 Number two, the fact that these people are wearing masks on, and I can't see their faces,

00:10:31.040 I can't see their facial expressions, it materially prejudices my ability to read the jury.

00:10:36.600 And number three, the fact that this side has no mask, and the other side does have a mask. I mean,

00:10:41.720 this is ridiculous. We're being impugned here as anti-science, anti-COVID people with a D.C. jury 0.93

00:10:48.700 who's going to hate us for it. So on top of having to fight this very young trial, we had to deal

00:10:53.320 with all that nonsense. It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous. But what is ridiculous, even more 0.99

00:10:59.920 ridiculous to me, and absurd and gut-wrenching, is of all of the trials that have gone on related 0.95

00:11:10.060 to January 6th? How many defendants have been found? What is the ratio of guilty to not guilty? 0.88

00:11:18.620 So there's been a few trials, please, over the past few days. But as of last week, from everybody

00:11:27.400 who went to trial, out of 67 trials, 66 convictions, one not guilty.

00:11:35.060 Okay. So why isn't somebody saying to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court responsible

00:11:43.940 for the administration of the federal court system, Chief Justice, only, only an evil, incompetent

00:11:52.980 SOB would not look at these conviction rates and say, we are in the wrong jurisdiction, and

00:12:00.580 you are running courts that are absolutely biased and completely uninterested in the Constitution.

00:12:10.320 And that is, at best, more likely, perfectly willing to violate every constitutional value

00:12:15.860 in this country.

00:12:17.220 You know, we filed the change of venue motions in all of our cases. The vast majority, probably

00:12:23.320 95%, 99% of everybody who's gone to trials filed them as well. They did not let us out.

00:12:32.380 You know, D.C. is the place where you get sent to be executed. This is a thing that's going

00:12:39.400 on right now. They know that if one of these cases gets back to Texas or Louisiana or Florida

00:12:46.280 or one of these home jurisdictions where normal people are, that these guys are going to walk,

00:12:50.760 and they can't afford for that to happen. So what they're doing is they're getting their

00:12:54.700 convictions. They're going to force us to appeal these cases all the way up to the Supreme

00:12:58.940 Court. I actually think that we've done such a good job of preserving the record and fleshing

00:13:03.980 out the constitutional issues in these cases that when we get there, that we can win. But

00:13:08.620 you're talking about insane amounts of money and time in order for that to happen. So the

00:13:13.900 likelihood of that happening in every case is slim to none because people just don't have

00:13:17.400 it. Joe, when you say that, a court system that will tolerate this conduct by the D.C. circuit

00:13:25.780 judges, district judges, will tolerate just simply bringing the hammer down on the appellate level

00:13:33.720 as well. There is no justice available to these Americans, and we've got to all recognize that, 0.89

00:13:40.360 and we've all got to deal with it and figure out a way forward that does not include the judicial

00:13:45.260 system. We've got to have a political solution to this. These people have been—I'm telling you,

00:13:51.920 I'm telling our audience, we all know this—these are the forgotten Americans. These people are

00:13:58.920 simply lost. They are captured by the Marxist Dems who are treating them like the enemy. And

00:14:07.600 God help them. God forgive them. This is intolerable in this country.

00:14:14.260 Yeah, I agree with you, Lou. In terms of a political solution, I am of the opinion,

00:14:21.620 and I travel in a lot of circles, and some other smart people far smarter than me are of the opinion

00:14:28.020 as well, that if you have, let's say, 25 or 30 red states, and these red states just get together and

00:14:35.380 they say, hey, red state number one, I'm going to do business with you, red state number two, three,

00:14:39.760 four, and five. I'm going to give you tax breaks because you see the world the way that I see it.

00:14:44.160 I'm going to give you this, and I'm going to give you that. And all the rest of those communist states, 0.87

00:14:48.300 let's not patronize them. Let's not visit them. Let's not do business with them. Let's cut them

00:14:53.360 out of our market, and let's see how they do in the long run.

00:14:57.660 Yeah, I sympathize with your view entirely. This is still the United States of America,

00:15:04.080 America, and we have to bring to bear the force of our values, our beliefs, and confidence in this

00:15:12.040 system, the great American system, and come to a resolution.

00:15:20.040 Hakeem Jeffries is my congressman, Lou. He doesn't give a damn about anybody but himself.

00:15:24.720 Well, let's be honest. He doesn't give a damn. He hates every one of these people, 0.91

00:15:29.840 and he means to punish them. That's right. He's a Marxist. He is as anti-American as one could 0.96

00:15:36.460 possibly imagine. These are the realities. You know, Joe, we're going to give you the last word

00:15:42.220 here, as we always do. Ask for your concluding thoughts, what anybody can do. But everything

00:15:49.040 you're doing, we applaud. I have to tell you, it sickens me to think of how little we can do.

00:15:55.740 But God bless you for doing all that you can for these political prisoners.

00:16:02.760 Thank you so much, Lou. God bless you and all your readers. If you're inclined to follow me and my

00:16:08.360 work, you can find me at McBrideLawNYC across all social media platforms. I update them all daily

00:16:16.020 with different types of information regarding our cases. If you're inclined to give to our work,

00:16:21.980 McBrideLawNYC.com. Click on the January 6th tab, and you can find a global fund that will go

00:16:28.540 to where it's needed most in our January 6th related cases. I want to say a special thanks

00:16:33.640 to Speaker McCarthy for, you know, I can't remember the last time a politician said he was going to do

00:16:39.180 something and then followed up on it soon. Everybody is not happy with the way that he's

00:16:43.260 released the information, but releasing the footage to Tucker Carlson is a very good way to get it

00:16:48.000 disseminated to the public in a way that makes sense. And his office has also granted me permission,

00:16:53.380 one of the lawyers, and is now beginning the process of granting other lawyers the ability

00:16:57.680 to go in and to look at this footage. Absent Speaker McCarthy's yes to us, we would still be locked out

00:17:05.280 of this information. We were told by the Department of Justice that there was about 14,000 hours of

00:17:12.000 CCTV footage available to us. Speaker McCarthy's office is making 41,000 hours available to us.

00:17:19.540 The DOJ has been lying to you, it's been lying to me and the American public the entire time,

00:17:23.780 and we will leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice so long as myself and my team are on the

00:17:30.440 case. Speaker McCarthy has been, and I said you'd get the last word, I'm going to get the last

00:17:35.360 question, and you will get the last word, I assure you, Joe. Speaker McCarthy's been criticized for

00:17:41.820 giving it to one outlet, and that is Fox News. Is there not a better way to get this material in

00:17:48.720 front of all the lawyers who are trying to get their clients free? Is there not a better way to

00:17:53.800 have the American people informed than through one gatekeeper? There is a better way, and I share

00:18:03.340 your sentiment, and I believe Speaker McCarthy does too. It boils down to the way that the January 6th

00:18:08.540 committee turned over the information to him. They gave it to him on an old school kiosk plugged

00:18:13.040 into a wall inside of the Capitol building with no real way to reproduce it right away. So a system

00:18:19.140 has to be developed in order for that to happen. So as a matter of first impression, he said, what

00:18:23.680 lawyer and what person from the TV industry can I get out there to start letting people see this

00:18:28.240 information? I think given the fact that I've been given access as an attorney that opens

00:18:33.320 the door to the legal community, I think given the fact that Tucker Carlson and his team has been

00:18:37.980 given the access, that opens the door to the entire private sector. It opens the door, Joe,

00:18:45.580 but what I'm talking about is opening wide the floodgates, because all of that video, as you well

00:18:50.820 know, and this, by the way, is not all of the video. Why is there some of the video held back?

00:18:55.980 Because the January 6th committee turned over what they turned over to him. They didn't turn over

00:19:01.620 everything. So I know he's committed to finding out everything, but when I asked, can I ask a

00:19:06.660 question? Of course, how can they still have control of the video? They do not exist any longer.

00:19:13.300 No, that's a great question. And what they did was in wrapping up and leaving it like a, like a case

00:19:19.360 file and the information for him to go over, they gave them what they gave speaker McCarthy, what they gave

00:19:25.620 him. But what they gave him is the CCTV footage and they gave him a hundred boxes with papers in it.

00:19:32.700 They cut out everything else. So all the video, all the audio that you heard that animated all their

00:19:38.160 hearings, they did not include that and what they turned over to him because they're materially

00:19:43.180 dishonest people eventually. Okay. But they're, but they're materially smarter apparently than the

00:19:49.180 Republicans. So what I'm asking you, Tucker Carlson is a, is a solution. And I, and by the way, I think

00:19:55.160 as a first step, that's fine. But what is needed is a technologist who knows how to record, to expand

00:20:01.080 that, uh, those documents, uh, and those files into video across a wide area. That's a technology

00:20:09.300 issue, not a journalistic or a programming issue. I agree with you 100%. So as soon as we were given

00:20:15.800 access and as soon as I was able to confirm that a member of the public Tucker and his people were

00:20:19.960 given access, what I did straight away in Ryan Nichols, his case was I filed a continuance motion

00:20:25.180 and I said, Hey judge, we need to pump the brakes on this case. That's supposed to go to trial on March

00:20:29.100 27th. We could be, we have been given access. We need to go through this. And because a member of the

00:20:35.080 public has also been given access judge, I'm going to ask you to lift the protective orders

00:20:40.660 on this case. And if you lift a protective order on this case, we are going to take all of our

00:20:46.300 information, publish it and crowdsource the technology to get the entire concerned public

00:20:52.740 on the case to help us get down to the truth. That is the first thing I did. As soon as I knew I

00:20:58.400 had access, I filed that motion that night. What was the ruling? Uh, we're still outstanding. I'm

00:21:04.640 waiting to hear from it possibly today or sometime this week. But as soon as I know, I will let you

00:21:08.980 know, because we are chomping at the bit, looking for, looking for a, uh, an answer on that one.

00:21:14.600 Well, I know that you're looking for answers on, on so much. Uh, it's got to be at moments

00:21:20.080 overwhelming, even to a terrific attorney like you. Uh, but we, uh, again, we applaud you for all of

00:21:27.180 your efforts in behalf of your clients and all of the January 6th political prisoners,

00:21:31.640 Joe McBride. Thank you, my friend. Great American. Thank you, Lou. Our thanks to Joe McBride for all

00:21:38.580 he's doing for his clients and the other J6 political prisoners of the Biden regime. Let's 0.53

00:21:45.000 turn now to another great American. She's Congresswoman Claudia Tenney of New York.

00:21:50.000 She's a two-term Congresswoman, a member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee,

00:21:54.280 and sits on the Science, Space and Technology Committee as well. Welcome back, Congresswoman.

00:22:00.480 Great to have you with us. Putin has escalated Russia's war with Ukraine. Now China's Xi is

00:22:06.900 directly confronting the Biden White House. Biden's foreign policy seems to be failing across the

00:22:13.640 board. Your thoughts? Well, first of all, I, I'm very concerned about what's happening around the

00:22:19.740 world and the projection of weakness. And we're seeing more and more happen, uh, uh, from our enemies,

00:22:25.920 whether it's China, Russia, uh, Iran, whether it's openly or surreptitiously using, uh, Russia or China,

00:22:33.820 uh, behind the scenes, uh, as a behind the scenes player. But I'm very concerned about where we're

00:22:39.300 going and we could be careening into a really dangerous situation for the United States because

00:22:44.160 we have a feckless president who is run by staff that are weak and, uh, really don't understand the,

00:22:49.820 the real seriousness of what's happening around the world. Yeah, it's, uh, Congresswoman,

00:22:56.340 it's really very difficult right now for me because I've called this man what he is, uh, for some time.

00:23:01.760 He is an impaired president. He's a puppet president. And there is no way in the world 1.00

00:23:06.700 that there is any integrity in the national left-wing corporate media that treats this man as if he were

00:23:14.220 a normal, uh, leader sitting in the Oval Office of the, uh, the White House. Do you agree?

00:23:21.000 Oh, I, I think this, every time I see Joe Biden on, and I'm full disclosure, I'm where you are, Lou.

00:23:27.240 I have never been a fan of Joe Biden. I've always thought he was a talentless, feckless,

00:23:33.280 phony, uh, using his, uh, leverage and his position to, you know, enrich his friends and his family.

00:23:42.000 All of this is coming to, to, to, to truth. And so many Democrats know it. I mean, all the things

00:23:47.060 he says that it would be, uh, look racist and sexist and, you know, from an, from any, from a

00:23:54.360 Republican, these would be considered just completely off the rails. But the Democrats act as if the

00:24:01.000 emperor has no clothes. They just keep going on. Oh, this is great. Look, isn't, didn't Joe do great

00:24:05.640 today? And it's almost like, I think the American people are starting to get it. They're like, wait a

00:24:09.540 minute. Like, why are you defending this? But the problem is a lot of people see the alternative

00:24:14.060 is Kamala Harris, who is equally just another career politician, very feckless, not really has 1.00

00:24:20.760 no gravitas. Where's she going? And there really aren't any alternatives. You've got a phony and

00:24:26.280 Gavin Newsom who's out there trying to emerge and the Democrats really have no place to turn. And that's

00:24:32.460 where I see a huge problem. And, you know, right now, all we have is the leadership on the Republican

00:24:39.020 side and a very, very slim majority. And right now we're sticking together. But when you see,

00:24:44.580 and this is just my vantage point as a New Yorker, when you see what is happening, uh, in the House

00:24:50.540 of Representatives and the minority side, you have someone who is hatched out of the New York State

00:24:55.700 Assembly, which has its own set of like really egregious rules, lack of respect for the minority and 0.91

00:25:01.620 people who are in rural and suburban areas. And the other leader and the actual majority leader in

00:25:07.560 the Senate is Chuck Schumer, who was also hatched in the New York State Assembly. You know, the kind

00:25:12.940 of rules that we saw in place when Nancy Pelosi was leader resembled what I saw in the State Assembly

00:25:18.860 when I was a member there, uh, completely an abuse of power, no respect for the citizens, the

00:25:25.120 taxpayers, and they do what they can because they can get away with it. And the media completely

00:25:30.380 supports them. And we'll go to lengths to censor big tech censorship, uh, to whatever level it takes

00:25:38.160 to perpetuate false narratives, whether it's the 51 former intelligence officers who declared with

00:25:44.620 certainty that Hunter Biden's laptop was definitely a Russian disinformation, uh, campaign shutting down

00:25:51.000 the New York coast, uh, Twitter conferring with, uh, with FBI about who to censor and which conservatives

00:25:58.080 and Republicans, the vaccine, uh, and the COVID emergencies and the COVID falsities, lack of science.

00:26:03.940 I mean, you could, you and I, we could go on about what is going on in our country. I think people are

00:26:08.880 starting to wake up, but what concerns me is our education system is churning out students who believe

00:26:14.820 this stuff. They don't have critical thinking skills. They don't look and see further that the

00:26:20.280 media is supposed to have not only certain privileges under the first amendment, but they have certain

00:26:25.380 obligations and they're not meeting those. That's what really concerns me. And the reason they have

00:26:30.200 those obligations and the reason they have those privileges is because they're supposed to enable

00:26:35.500 us as a self-governing constitutional republic. We are supposed to govern ourselves. And I feel like

00:26:41.980 we are at a turning point, uh, where, you know, the Democrats say inflection point, I see this very

00:26:48.080 similar to what Lincoln faced, uh, when he saw the civil war and what's happening with our country.

00:26:53.500 And the real question of the day is, can we be self-governing or are we going to be overrun

00:26:58.920 and taken our, have our freedoms taken away by these endless amounts of bureaucrats that the Democrats 0.98

00:27:04.500 keep churning out, whether it's 87,000 new IRS agents, uh, endless bureaucracies being

00:27:11.720 added on all these, uh, alphabet, uh, soup kind of, uh, bureaucracies in Washington. The same thing

00:27:18.200 happens in Albany and these people are crowding out our rights and we're not able to really do

00:27:23.040 anything about it. Well, we've chosen, I agree not to do something about it as a people and that has to

00:27:29.920 change or this country is lost. Uh, you are, you sit on one of the most important committees to me in

00:27:36.700 the, uh, on two of the most important committees in point of fact, uh, ways and means and space, uh,

00:27:43.380 science, space, and technology. I want to talk about space and science and technology just for a moment

00:27:49.660 because it looks to me like, uh, there's some very serious issues facing our military, uh, are just

00:27:57.240 about every agency you can think of that is involved in either Homeland security or, uh, the defense of the

00:28:04.060 nation. And that is the inability to detect balloons that are the size of three buses, uh, their payload,

00:28:10.660 at least, uh, an inability then, uh, to fire a sidewinder missile when close proximity to a target,

00:28:18.400 uh, a balloon for crying out loud and miss it, uh, a missile that costs $400,000. Uh, and in the case

00:28:26.340 of the F-22 is being fired from platforms, those aircraft costs over $300 million each. And we,

00:28:33.920 we don't seem to have a clue, or at least our leaders are clueless and are not sharing with

00:28:39.400 the American people what's happened here. Basic questions are not being answered from what base

00:28:45.320 in China did they come from? When did they launch? And then we're being told by the Biden administration

00:28:52.840 and the Pentagon that these are not, these are, I repeat, are not Chinese balloons. But meanwhile,

00:29:00.320 the PRC is threatening retaliation against the United States because they acknowledge they were

00:29:07.640 their balloons. How stupid can we get? How unartful can we get with, uh, what is supposed to be advanced 1.00

00:29:15.280 technology when we don't even get a, an intelligent reason for why a sidewinder missile was fired

00:29:21.600 at a target that could have been taken down and in better form with a 20 millimeter cannon burst?

00:29:28.440 Your thoughts? Yeah, I think you're, you're hitting on some really important themes there. One of them

00:29:33.940 is I don't believe that we don't have the capacity or the ability to know that these balloons are there.

00:29:39.320 In fact, we may have known, but I think that our bureaucrats have been focused on things

00:29:43.520 that aren't important, whether it's woke culture, whether it's making sure we have,

00:29:47.980 you know, diversity and, and, and in these agencies that are, some of them are part department of

00:29:54.120 defense. Some of them are, are subunits of the department of defense where they should be a truly

00:29:59.980 merit-based area where we're dealing with the defense of our nation and our nation. Many other

00:30:04.660 nations depend on us. And think about this. Remember everybody laughed when president Trump wanted to

00:30:09.620 create the space force, but the space force is important because the Chinese have been spying on us 0.99

00:30:14.260 for years without even having to go into space. They've stolen our intellectual property. They've

00:30:19.680 been, they've moved into our, our universities with Confucius institutes. They've moved into our,

00:30:24.940 our spaces in terms of working with our American companies, either in China or, or in, or in the

00:30:31.920 United States. And we've been very naive about all these things. They fired a hypersonic missile around

00:30:37.480 the earth and then we didn't even know about it until they put out a press release. So I think we have the

00:30:43.400 ability, we just don't have our eye on the ball. We're not focused on the things that matter.

00:30:48.020 And I think that that's what I'm really concerned about. And what kind of judgment this is where we

00:30:52.720 have this buffoon, I, I emphasize, I agree with you, Lou, a buffoon in office who doesn't, doesn't 0.97

00:30:59.100 know how to react to this balloon that we knew about, by the way, the evidence now reveals that 0.97

00:31:04.120 we knew about this balloon when it was actually taking off, when it went across the Aleutian Islands into

00:31:09.480 our airspace and into Alaska, we could have shot this balloon down much earlier, but we allowed

00:31:14.760 it to traverse our entire continent. And then we used it. It was like, you know, shooting fish in

00:31:20.180 a barrel with nuclear weapons, you know, wasting taxpayers' money on the, on the technology and

00:31:25.180 the information we've spent. When you say, I mean, honestly, you probably could have shot down some

00:31:29.060 of those balloons with a 50 cal. You don't even need to have a cannon. So this is the kind of stuff

00:31:34.300 that is what you get when you have a buffoon career politician who has no common sense, and who, to whom 0.58

00:31:42.640 the people report to him, either don't have common sense, or they're afraid to tell him the truth, because he

00:31:48.820 doesn't really have the right answers. And this is part of the issue where we have a civilian command, a

00:31:54.320 military report to a civilian command by design, because we didn't want a military tyranny. But we have to put

00:32:00.900 competent people in these leadership positions, people who can make decisions, people who understand

00:32:05.860 the economy, they understand foreign power, they understand foreign affairs, they understand the

00:32:10.660 military, and we're moving away from that. We're getting these career politicians, you know, whether

00:32:15.400 it's Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Blinken, Schumer, I'm just listing off the top five who are in the

00:32:23.360 succession order here. Other, you know, we had Nancy Pelosi. Thankfully, at least we have a Republican in the 1.00

00:32:28.480 mix now with Kevin McCarthy, with a very slim majority. So yeah, I am really worried about this. But again, you can go to

00:32:35.000 every aspect of our lives, look at what students are learning. In school, they aren't learning the basics and how to, you

00:32:42.560 know, be self sufficient, how to think for themselves, everything is about what

00:32:47.080 government can do for you. And you think about it, why aren't the Democrats who revere

00:32:51.400 someone like a JFK, you know, John F. Kennedy, who said that, you know, we need to look at what we can do

00:32:56.900 for our government, not what the government can do for us. And he meant, I think what he really means by

00:33:02.100 that is we're back to self governance, it's self governance, or it's communism, and the communists

00:33:06.900 are winning. This is what the Chinese Communist Party is doing. They're dividing and conquering. 1.00

00:33:11.380 They're getting us off, you know, off our stride. These balloons, one of them, a couple of them may have been

00:33:16.940 real surveillance balloons, one may be decoys. And now they've got the Biden administration

00:33:21.340 scrambling over something that we should be focusing on the fact that they're still pushing

00:33:25.780 their Belt and Road Initiative. They're still leveraging countries and companies around the

00:33:30.220 world to come to their aid. And we are sitting here not knowing what to do with ourselves,

00:33:34.660 because we don't have leadership. Yeah, we don't have leaders. I mean, let's be real honest.

00:33:40.740 We don't have leaders. It's not about leadership. This is about leaders, men and women,

00:33:46.740 with triple digit IQs, big hearts, and really steely spines who believe in this country,

00:33:54.420 our constitution, and mean for this country to reach its destiny and full potential and equal

00:34:02.100 opportunity for every American, but not equal outcomes. That is beyond the power of either

00:34:07.540 government or anyone other than God. And we have to come to terms with that. And these are,

00:34:13.380 you use the word communist. Indeed, you're right. The Democrat Party is no longer a party of loyal

00:34:19.800 opposition. It is a Marxist, dem-led Democrat Party that is no better than a fifth column in 0.55

00:34:27.100 this country working against everything that is fundamentally American, founding values, our

00:34:33.060 constitution, the American way of life. And until the Republicans understand that this is a war,

00:34:40.580 it is nothing less than that with China, until they understand that they are a one party standing up

00:34:48.860 for this country, and they cannot for any reason rationalize further the actions, the behavior,

00:34:54.860 the conduct, and the agenda of the Marxist Dems. I'll leave it with you for your concluding thoughts.

00:35:02.520 We're delighted to have you with us, but we always give our guests the last word.

00:35:06.680 I think we have, I mean, personally, I think we have people out there. I think President Trump

00:35:10.900 proved that he was a great leader. I think Ron DeSantis has proven he's been a strong leader.

00:35:15.720 I think Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, we have great leaders that I think I look up to in our house

00:35:23.020 right now. People like Ronnie Jackson, who are willing to state and tell the truth about things.

00:35:29.000 We have a lot of good conservatives who are out there fighting the fight. Michael Walsh,

00:35:32.320 who's on top of these issues with China. I think a lot of these people are trying to emerge and move

00:35:37.100 to the top in our country. But we don't necessarily have to have a perfect leadership because Federalist

00:35:43.160 10 said, enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm. But when the rest of the system is

00:35:48.340 eroded, and all we have left is this really this authoritarianism and the domination by the top,

00:35:56.460 you lose the ability of leaders to emerge. And that's what concerns me is we have never been in

00:36:01.240 this position. And I think, and I agree exactly with you, this is communism. I lived in the former

00:36:06.600 Yugoslavia. It was a communist country. Although it was a lovely place in many ways, it was a communist 0.78

00:36:11.860 country. If you disagreed with Tito, you ended up on a barren island in the middle of the Adriatic

00:36:17.260 Sea. All the qualities of communism were there. And I watched the, as you say, the equity versus the

00:36:23.680 equality of opportunity and the dangerousness and what it does to the human spirit and the human

00:36:28.740 ingenuity. And I saw that, I watched it, and it's very, very hard to emerge out of that, which is

00:36:33.920 why you see these former communist countries struggling. And it's very hard to, once you sink

00:36:39.960 into it, to bring yourself back out of it. And that's where we need to start recognizing it and

00:36:44.240 calling it what it is, as you are. It is communism. It is contrary to everything our constitution is

00:36:49.620 about. And we as Americans need to come, get together and call it out. We can't just say,

00:36:54.420 oh, the NBA's got a lot of money it's making, you know, while they abuse their own citizens,

00:36:59.680 the Uyghurs. And, you know, kudos to Ennis Freedom and people like that who stood up against 0.99

00:37:05.600 these people and given up their ability to make money, given up their ability to have gainful

00:37:10.280 employment in their chosen field and have to do something else. Recognize the brave Iranian women

00:37:15.700 who are standing up against a brutal regime that's murdering people in their own, in their streets.

00:37:20.680 This is the kind of stuff that we've got to look through. Those are the heroes that are out there

00:37:24.440 that are going to save the day, not these bureaucrats like Joe Biden and some of these

00:37:28.420 athletes who have really sold their souls to this. We are not about, we are about business,

00:37:33.560 but we're about ingenuity and we're about the human spirit. And I think we're, we're losing that.

00:37:37.600 And I think you're exactly right about communism. I think we just need to start talking about it

00:37:42.160 and explain to people what it means because people say, oh, what's so bad? Communism is bad.

00:37:47.480 Our schools, our colleges are telling students, these are good things. You know, I just read my,

00:37:53.060 I don't mean to carry on, but I just read my college alumni magazine all about how they're

00:37:58.680 going to be having drag queen events and things like that. So students can feel empowered and

00:38:04.180 express themselves. Is that necessary when you're spending $80,000 a year to go to some of these

00:38:09.140 private colleges? Isn't that something you should do on your own while you're in entertainment? Is that

00:38:13.860 what you're going to school to learn? And that's what really concerns me is how we've gotten off,

00:38:18.060 off the beaten path here. We're not really focused on critical thinking and the skills we need to be

00:38:23.720 self-governing and to save the country. The last thing the Marxist Dems want, Congresswoman, 1.00

00:38:30.440 is a highly educated, knowledgeable electorate and citizenry. They mean exactly what they're doing.

00:38:38.180 And that is to spend the United States into oblivion and to look at it as nothing more than ashes in the

00:38:46.680 dustbin of history because they mean that to be the result. It is their agenda. And we are playing

00:38:53.880 along. And I don't know how long it's going to take the Republican Party or if they will ever come

00:38:59.280 to terms with the reality that faces every day working men and women in the middle class of this

00:39:04.220 country. The hell with the party of business. This is the party of the American people, working men and

00:39:10.760 women, our middle class, the party that was created by Donald Trump and the damn fools who think that 1.00

00:39:17.380 they have that they have a better idea in the Republican Party. Is there a waste of time? And I 1.00

00:39:24.480 assure you of that. I promised you the last word, but I had to put in a few of my own thoughts.

00:39:29.640 I agree. I think we're on the same page. We really do need to fight. Donald Trump taught us

00:39:35.520 we're in a war. We need to continue to fight. And just, you know, I look at the three big things.

00:39:41.140 The economy is where they want to destroy us. They want to destroy us on energy. That's,

00:39:45.620 you know, real vulnerability. It's the key to prosperity. And that's a good way to destroy us.

00:39:49.760 And the left is really hurting us there. And elections. And that's what we've learned. And I learned the

00:39:55.840 hard way as with tough elections. But if we don't do something about elections, if we don't start

00:40:00.820 recognizing, fight where we can fight and change the rules like we've done in Florida and some other

00:40:06.040 states. And then in states where we can't change the rules, we've got to do a better job than the

00:40:11.500 Democrats in collecting ballots. And, you know, when people in Pennsylvania say to you, when you say,

00:40:16.780 why did you vote or why did you vote for John Fetterman? And they say, who is John Fetterman?

00:40:21.200 That means we have a problem. And lots of them. Congresswoman Tenney, thank you so much for being 0.54

00:40:27.620 with us here on The Great America Show. We appreciate it, as always. Come back soon. And God bless you.

00:40:33.500 Great. Thank you so much. And God bless you for fighting the good fight.
